NGC3132 Eight Burst Nebula - SHO

NGC 3132 EightBurst Nebula (in SHO)

Description:
- The Eight Burst Nebula, or NGC 3132, is 2,300 light years away from Earth which is close in the scheme of astronomical distances!
- It is named the Eight Burst Nebula since it looks like it is made up of multiple rings.
- Dust lanes are visible across the central core.
- It is a small nebula in the sky, but is still 0.7 light years across.
- This version is based on narrowband data. It is a combination of captured frames using the narrow bandwidths of Hydrogen (Alpha), Oxygen and Sulphur (SHO) which have been merged to form the image. It can be considered to be artifical colour. This approach captures more structure in the nebula.

Details:
- Captured on 14-Jun-22.
- Celestron Edge 11 (280mm aperture, focal length 2800mm, f/10).
- ZWO ASI1600MM Pro monochrome camera (cooled to -10 DegC).
- EQ8Rh Pro mount, ASIair.
- 20x 60sec captures of each of S, H and O images, using Astrodon 5nm filters (1 hour).
- 20x 60sec each of Dark frames, Flats, Flat Darks and Bias frames.
- Processed in PixInsight and Topaz Sharpen AI.
- Image size and resolution reduced for Facebook.

Location:
- APT Building, Siding Spring Observatory, Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
